My current work is going through this

They dropped an open system we used but the team managing the new one is so bureaucratic and disconnected from the people actually doing work it’s ridiculous.

They reject every proposal/change unless it’s 100% perfect. I had a project delayed by four weeks because I didn’t end single line docstrings with periods. They didn’t review the substance of the pr, they just commented on the docstrings and stopped as if the rest had no merit. It was two weeks between review cycles, so it took three cycles to actually fix what could have been one.

That whole team is just clearly a make work program. They nitpick and bike shed on every issue. But they aggressively document all the make work they do so they look super busy and important to the execs.

I just want to get work done, but instead it’s a Sisyphean effort.

Yeah

If it were me as a hacker and I wanted to cause real damage:

“The US Federal Reserve is now deleted, US currency to be backed by bitcoin”

Or

“We have found evidence Fort Knox contains no gold. Biggest fraud in history”

Or

“US military contracts cancelled due to extreme overpayment”

Your dog is a handsome fellow, he looks way cooler than me

I wish Sony didn’t age verify their videos so aggressively.

I don’t have an account to log in to prove my age.

It’s only like a month of stock increases, they’re still up 300% since IPO.

I’m not logging in out creating an account, I deleted my hobby account a few months ago and I do not miss participating in Reddit.

Beans!

Those colors don’t even make green you morons

I’m happy to say I’m officially degoogled in my personal life/computer.

I still have legacy accounts with gmail that I can’t migrate though.

I could see it all being a big vendor specific XML file with XSLT for the application layer

Maybe Musk needs to learn about data normalization and natural keys.

I’m curious what the actual data looks like. I’ve spent quite a bit of time auditing large data systems.

I would expect these databases to be largely denormalized with very wide tables, I would expect them to favour natural keys like a SSNs, and built around per department use cases.

I would not expect them to be highly normalized because then when you need something from another department you need them to ensure consistency.

These systems probably have like 50 years of legacy code or more in them too.

When my car was a kitten we had a clear plastic shower curtain, he would sit on the edge of the tub between the curtains staring at me.

Until one day he slipped and fell into the shower with me and never did that again

I went and read the Wikipedia page on democracy after your comment and learned a lot, so thank you!

RIP US constitution.

You were a good constitution and worked as a framework for democracies around the world.
